Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0336 higher (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.04); p = 4 × 10−32.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.33 — in an intron of BCL2.
What each result means
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Total protein levels (UKB data field 30860). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Total protein levels (UKB data field 30860). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Total protein levels (UKB data field 30860). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4940573
What is rs4940573?
rs4940573 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCL2 gene. Published research associates it with total protein levels (ukb data field 30860). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs4940573 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs4940573 mean I will get this?
No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.
Where does the information about rs4940573 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
